In the Sept. 16 issue of The Sentinel, I wrote about demystifying hypnosis and hypnotherapy as psychological taboos. In an attempt to follow up on the subject, I decided to try hypnotherapy for the first time.
First, as a new client, I filled out a brief questionnaire to determine whether I am more left or right-brained. The right brain is the more creative side while the left brain is more analytical. The results of my questionnaire showed that I am left-brained.
With these results, Carmen George, owner of Therapeutic Hypnosis, informed me that it would be more of a challenge to place me under hypnosis due to my left-brained tendencies.
At first, George attempted twice to place me under hypnosis. The analytical side of my brain asked a few questions. Then she informed me that I didn’t need to be so analytical and to relax. After taking a deep breath and relaxing, we tried again.
This time, George succeeded in placing me under hypnosis. For the session, we worked on stress, insomnia, lack of energy and writer’s block. Using different scenarios, George helped me with her suggestions of feeling more relaxed and calm. In another scenario, George suggested thoughts of feeling more rejuvenated and energized. For insomnia, she suggested that my eyelids would get heavy at bedtime and that I would be able to sleep in a seven to eight hour time frame. I explained to George before the session that sometimes I experience writer’s block, and she suggested ideas to help me focus more on writing. Overall, the session with George was truly a life-changing experience. I feel more energized and focused in addition to feeling less stressed. I strongly recommend trying hypnotherapy to change your life for the better.
Therapeutic Hypnosis’ mission statement is, “Thoughts are forces that fashion character and change destiny.” This certainly was the case for me and I’m not the only one who has experienced George’s expertise.
“She is a very generous, caring, and professional hypnotherapist. I made a lot of progress with the issues that brought me to hypnotherapy under Carmen George’s care. I highly recommend George without any reservations,” said Will, one of George’s patients.
Another patient named Ryan shared that he met with George to deal with a family matter. “As a result of these treatments, my energy level rose, and I dealt with the problem in a way that has proven highly satisfactory to all concerned,” Ryan said. “Ms. George worked something close to a miracle and for a fraction of what standard treatment of this problem normally would have cost.”
George’s credentials include being a certified master clinical hypnotherapist. In addition, she has more than 10 years of experience working in the hypnotherapy field. To find out more about Therapeutic Hypnosis, please contact Carmen at 404-246-2140 and
